Meeting federal, state, district, or even local mandates while addressing the individual needs of students is a challenge to
educators everywhere. The A+nyWhere Learning System® (A+LS™) is a courseware program that not only
provides core curriculum content, but also provides assessment tools to match skill levels of all students, whether on a developmental,
remedial, or enhanced learning track.
The A+LS courseware program consists of extensive core curriculum content for grades K–12 as well
as adult learners. Supported by an instructional management system, A+LS is delivered via
the Internet or through a LAN or WAN. A+LS runs on Windows®, Macintosh®, Novell®, and Linux®

Research-Based Direct Instruction Model
Instructivism, a general approach to education proven by extensive
research, holds that carefully sequenced and direct instruction
is most effective. A+LS curriculum is driven by the direct
instruction approach to mastery with the following tools: |
|
Study Guides teach the concepts and skills associated with each lesson. |
|
Practice Tests, or Quizzes, allow the student to work through practice
exercises while providing immediate feedback as well
as access to the Study Guide. |
|
Mastery Tests determine whether the student has learned the material. |
|
Constructed Responses, or Essays, help students analyze,
synthesize, and evaluate concepts from reviewed lesson content. |
